it's pretty much the game everyone is being drawn to because all their friends are in it + the promise of a large cast (game of thrones being the obvious example)

it was this year, just very early on.

two of the dany's posted for the reserve spot

the third one posted too early and got theirs deleted

so no, it's not any of them

(Anonymous) 2017-09-01 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
oh is that what the mod comment about early posts was in relation to.

i do think it seems extreme to open the comment page at 12 then delete anyone who posts before 12.01. people have different computer comments, just allow reserves from when comments are opened?

piraeus and china's game will definitely die before the end of the year. it's just the mods and their friends showing interest at this point.

(Anonymous) 2017-09-01 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Comments are opened at 12, but the actual page doesn't change to OPEN until 12:01.

As long as you don't post before you actually see the words OPEN, you're fine.

i think there will be wank of some kind but i don't think it will die from it. it'll keep going as long as people are interested in it and with a playerbase that large, there will usually be stuff to do.

how are embedded icons distracting, exactly

I seriously never get a straight answer for why anons get so fucking autistic about embedded icons in tags

unless the image is fuckhuge I don't see how hard it is to avert your eyes slightly to one side to read the tag unless you have super mega ADD where anything that bucks your routine sends you into a spiral and ruins your day

Now with 100% more anon whoops

This has only ever been a thing in murdergames, where reserves can fill up in seconds.

Normal games do not have proxy reserves.

People who don't actually play the game tbh

this is not true, as i've been in a handful of games over the years and seen people proxy reserve for people more than once. if a game is low on spots or there's a risk of a flood of reserves, i've seen people allow for proxies. it's more rare to see a game specifically say no to proxies, ime.

never said it wasnt on me. doesn't change how i feel about it

(Anonymous) 2017-09-01 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't like embedding icons because I feel like we should be supporting dreamwidth by buying paid time. It's a small company and they've been great to us, so we should show our support to them.

This is why I always buy paid time or just make due with 15 icons.

(Anonymous) 2017-09-01 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
*make do

(Anonymous) 2017-09-01 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
my inner pedant demands i correct make due to make do, but if someone can't afford to pay for more icons, dw isn't losing out on any money by them embedding. they found a work around because they can't afford it. i've been in the position where i couldn't afford an account and i made do, but i sure as hell wanted more. if they don't have the money, they can't support dw either way. they're not stashing their money away from dw and laughing maniacally.

some people are just broke and find workarounds. like it or not, this is one of them. you're free to just have 15 if you can't afford it, but it's not breaking the tos to embed an icon and they're not doing it to screw over a company.

I really feel like this game should have app challenges because it would amuse the fuck out of me to read how dynamic each Daenerys app will be.

They would go batshit to entertain much like jesters. Imagine all of their "I'M THE MOTHER OF DRAGONS" tdm samples. I would popcorn to this shit.

why is there no feature on here to block so you don't have see certain people?

I guess I should just stop being bugged anytime I see them around

Re: EL NYSA

(Anonymous) 2017-09-01 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
it's absolutely a thing, my dude. murdergames do it because there's a character cap. normal games do it because someone might reserve the character you want first.

(Anonymous) 2017-09-01 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
it's not the same, but I found myself reeeeeally bugged by this meme player's default icon. they were everywhere, and I hated seeing it. so I adblocked it. boom! sudden peace of mind.

maybe try blocking all of their icons and see if that helps, anon.

(Anonymous) 2017-09-01 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
huh. that actually might help. thanks for the suggestion!

(Anonymous) 2017-09-01 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Dreamwidth tools will now embed their added icons for you if you have it. I didn't realize it was doing that until I compared my notif to the post. I was like .....huh!

(Anonymous) 2017-09-01 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
only works if you use chrome.
